Queer singer-songwriter Brennan Villines pays an ode to his childhood on “Ahead Of Your Time,” led by lush pop sonics built on rich chords that play off airy harmonies and heartfelt lyricism.
Capturing hard truths while still weaving in hope and optimism throughout the track reminds us that we are capable of making it through rough times in our lives without letting the jagged edges of life dull our shine.
Drawn from personal experience yet brought to life as a relatable anthem, the track explores Villines’ life growing up queer in an environment that wasn’t ready for it. Speaking of the message, he said, “I felt as though I was ahead of my time. This is for those out there who aren’t quite comfortable being themselves quite yet and a reminder they aren’t alone."
The powerful track is accompanied by an expansive and celebratory music video showcasing a cast of people in the queer spectrum being themselves, dancing and spreading joy as we’re offered a path to finding ourselves.
With a smooth mix of folksy Americana hooks, Country twang and heartfelt soul making for a mesmerizing artistry, Brennan Villines is an icon worth keeping on your radar.
